Abstract

Rural tourism as an alternative type of tourism, is able to satisfy the needs of the modern man, which the urban environment is not able to satisfy. To clarify what those unmet needs may be and to give an answer to the question of what is the interest in demand for this type of tourism, it is necessary to analyze what is contained in rural tourism.
Stress in the urban lifestyle contributes to the counter-urbanization syndrome, which gives rise to increased interest in rural areas. Rural tourism is one of the few activities that can offer solutions to social problems in rural areas, especially the problem of high unemployment. In addition, there are other factors that divert the focus on rural tourism such as: increased interest in cultural heritage and raising the level of environmental awareness. As a result, in the developed countries, a new type of tourism is directed towards visiting the rural areas.
